His father expected
a tiny, tough fighter.
The way it began couldn't
have made him more righter.
His mother saw an angel
lying peaceful at rest.
She smiled down at him
as she offered her breast.
On the one hand a baby
who looked most serene.
On the other, a warrior,
one strong, little Marine.
For he'd come to us early,
his patience worn out.
And it sounded like "Oorah!"
in his first, lusty shout.
Born into a world that
was messed up by men.
What a way my dear friends
for a life to begin.
Yet with love and with courage
he'll face each new day.
His parents and others
will show him the way.
Perhaps things aren't perfect
but we'll make it all good.
And he'll grow in our care
and fight hard like he should.

This". It's from a dead soldier to his loved ones. One part is to his wife and about the daughter he'll never see. It goes; "I hope she looks like you. I hope she fights like me. And stands up for the innocent and the weak." I have a strong feeling that's AJ only, thank God, his Dad is still alive!
and 
all
time for me 
echoes, hope you all are doing well
